Abstract

An indoor unit (100) of an air-conditioning apparatus includes a left side panel (16L) on a left body surface (1L), a right side panel (16R) on a right body surface (1 R), a front opening-and-closing panel (15) on a body front opening (5) formed on a body front surface (1 F), a left L-shaped panel (17L) and a right L-shaped panel (17R) extending so as to straddle an area below the front opening-and-closing panel (15) and an area of a body bottom surface (1 B) near the body front surface (1 F) and near the left side panel (16L and the right side panel (16R), respectively, the body bottom surface (1B) between the left L-shaped panel (17L) and the right L-shaped panel (17R) formed respectively on a frame body (the same as a framework) (1). The front opening-and-closing panel (15) is formed of a panel frame body (13) and a panel design surface (14) attached to the panel frame body (13) having a substantially rectangular flat surface, and the panel design surface (14) is molded by heat and cool molding.
